Selena stood glued to the spot in the doorway of the pub, completely shocked to see her two best friends in a clinch. She heard Maggie's taxi pull up and she ran back inside.
"Did you give Maggie her phone?" Charlie asked her, as she got back to the table.
"Um..no, I couldn't find her." She replied distractedly, picking up her coat and keys.
"What are you doing, leaving?"
"Yeah, I've er...got to go."
Charlie looked confused "I thought you were staying with me and Harry."
"Well, I changed my mind. Bye." And she left.
"OK...bye." He stared after her, wondering why she'd gone off in such a rush.
"Hey, where's Selena?" Charlie hadn't noticed Harry get back.
"Oh, you've just missed her. She left, in quite a hurry."
"Really? Why?"
"I don't know, she was acting a bit strange."
"Strange?"
"Yeah, she didn't seem very happy."
"Why?"
"No idea." Charlie shrugged.
Harry shook his head, "Women, eh?"
They both laughed.
"You'll stay and have another drink with me, won't you?"
"Of course. Another pint?"
"Please."
Charlie disappeared and returned moments later with two beers. "Did Maggie get off OK?"
Harry smiled on hearing Maggie's name. "Yeah. Yeah she did."
"I hope she gets in alright, she seemed pretty out of it."
"Oh, I think she'll be OK." Harry replied, trying to supress a laugh.
"Huh?"
"Maggie. She wasn't as drunk as you think."
"What makes you say that?"
"Oh, nothing." He smiled again.
